Gaming Bundle £400 Budget

i am still rather worried about how easily the install will go as my old motherboard ram and cpu were parts from a packard bell, will i be able to set up these new components in my case boot up the PC and continue using my old OS and data Previously on the hard drive or will i have to do a full reinstall ?

With a new CPU and motherboard you will need to do a reinstall I'm afraid.
 
Is it possible to install the OS onto a partition when i get the new parts and transfer the data overfrom one partition to the other ?

Yes, you can do that. Just make sure the partion is at least the same size as the partion with the existing OS on.
 
Or, you could just install Windows on your existing partion. Windows will save all your data to a folder called "windows old". Then all you have to do is transfer all the data you want to keep, to the appropiate folders on the new install. Then just delete "windows old" when you have gotten everything you need and free up the space.
 
From browsing the forum and suggestions within this thread this is what ive come up with so far is there anyway of reducing this cost ever so slightly by £5-£10 without impacting performance and would i need thermal paste also ?

Edit: is Delivery not including VAT or something as the basket doesn't seem add up right after delivery?

Weekly deals change every wednrsday, i believe.
The OCUK value ram, will be a brand name, only you will not know which, until you get it.
 
Ordered It all today , had to change ram again as OcUK Value went out of stock
should have it all by Wednesday , fingers crossed for it all going smoothly when i get it all and finally being rid of a locked motherboard :)
 
Hmmm order is still showing as "in our warehouse queue" and i was expecting delivery tomorrow does anyone know how late the orders are picked up for next day delivery ?
all the items are 10+ in stock as far as the site shows. :(
 
Ocuk are not moving until 22nd october.

Are any of the parts out of stock or any pre-order on your order?
 
no i checked before i made the order and again today all items said 10+ in stock for immediate dispatch, ive made a post in the customer service forum but it was just after 6pm so a little late to catch anyone still working i guess
